Heroic passengers of Flight 93 upon learning of the attacks in NYC and DC, attempted to take back the plane from the hijackers. Flight 93 crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside, not far from Pittsburgh. My childhood friend from Pittsburgh visited the memorial in Pennsylvania. Besides the memorial, there is a chapel which has a mural showing the hands of God reaching out to the doomed plane. My friend cried at that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_93 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true, those that are younger might not really understand the devastation, the level it was. https://www.worthychristianforums.com/topic/241366-a-tribute-for-911lest-we-forget/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Today’s 9/11 commemoration marks a generation (18 years) since the devastation in New York and Washington. Over 70 million citizens have been born since that horrific morning, so fewer and fewer people remember. As Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan/Bush speechwriter Peggy Noonan warned back in 2001: We have to remember. We have to save these things. We can’t lose them. History needs them. Children will learn from them. Scholars will ponder them. Here in New York we call what happened on Sept. 11 the greatest and most successful rescue effort on American soil in all of U.S. history. But there’s more rescuing to be done, and it’s from a thief called time, which robs memories of their vividness, and from the Dumpster, which is daily carting history away from Ground Zero and the Pentagon." Remember the Holocaust Remember Pearl Harbor Remember the Maine Remember the Alamo Those who don't are doomed to repeat them.

There was a photograph of a couple at the base of the memorial with a name of a woman. I looked it up. She was killed in one of the towers. I finally had the courage to look up names of childhood friends to see if any of them were killed that day. I had grown up on long island, so it is possible that I knew someone. I did not see their names though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was not on the east coast, nor was he killed that day. He was a victim of hate from someone angry at 9/11. His murder shocked the phoenix metro area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Balbir_Singh_Sodhi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been reported that over 1,400 9/11 rescue workers who responded to the scene in the days and months after the attacks have since died. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A neighbor in our had a smouldering cigarette butt in their trash in the garage and the air conditioning had pumped the smoke into our unit (evenly spread smoke, an eerie thing to see at night going to the bathroom). Called 911 and the firefighters responded at like 1:30 AM and searched our place but found nothing. They came back an hour later and found the problem when our neighbors later called. Scary stuff! But the and there we realized what heroes our firefighters, first responders, and law enforcement are!!! I think it was Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn that did a PSA just after 9-11-2001 that the aforementioned are the true heroes. Actors are only playing heroes. So true! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had gotten his absolute dream placement at a NYC institution-even had a wall to wall giant purple hued poster of the Twin towers in the bedroom .Its absolutely only because Christ Jesus ordered his steps is he still alive and well. Thank you my Lord and God Jesus! God bless and bring peace for family and friends of those sweet people who were lost in the 9/11 tragedy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
